MRS.
ABIGAL SCOTT
DUNIWAY DEAD
WOMEN VOTE
Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway. who,
as much as any woman, has brought
about equal suffrage in many common
wealths of the U. S., died a few min
utes before 1 o’clock Monday morning.
Her 81st birthday would have been
celebrated October 22.
Several weeks ago Mrs. Duniway un
derwent a minor operation on her foot.
The infection which soon afterward ap
peared could not be localized. For
several days it has been apparent
that the end was near. She died in
sleep.
The following tribute is from an edi-
trial in the Portland Telegram:
“Peacefully and in the fullness of
years, Oregon’s meat noted woman has
finished her life’s work.
Abigail Scott Duniway was a woman
with a remarkable mind, » strong will
that was centered in an ideal concep
tion of the service of womanhood. She
believed that women as well as men
should labor potentially for the welfare
of the state and of society; and she
made the factual realization of that be
lief her life's work, Her labor in that
chosen field has been constant, intelli
gent and broad-minded. The result of
that labor invested her character with
a certain heroism, and gave her a fame
in her chosen cause that was nation
wide.”

Suffrage
Strengthen Socialist Parly.
Christiania, Oct. 11, via London, 8:09
a. m.—Women are voting today for
the first time in Norwegian general
elections. There are 170,000 new elec
tors on the rolls. Press forecasts pre
dict the women’s vote will bring large
gains to Socialistic representation in
parliament, making that the strongest
single paity, although the government
expects to maintain itself by a combi
nation of three political groups.
The Socialist’s platform is devoted
largely to an anti-military propagada.
The government program includes a
grain monopoly, old age pensions and
restrictions of almost a prohibitive
character on the sale of alcholic li
quors.
The Norwegian storthing unanimous
ly agreed on June 11, 1913, to extend
female suffrage so that all Norwegian
women would have the right to vote at
parliamentary elections without re
gard to the amount of income tax.
